Western blot using anti-His tag antibody confirmed the presence of rHC-CS. Biochemical assay, FTIR and enzyme kinetics studies revealed that rHC-CS used O-acetyl serine as substrate to produce cysteine using de novo pathway and CS activity was also confirmed with the homogenate of H.contortus. Upregulation of CS transcripts in the adult and its downregulation in the L3 larval stage suggests that de novo pathway contributes to the cysteine requirement of mature H.contortus. It is concluded that de novo pathway is an active metabolic pathway in H.contortus.De
